A UK soft furnishings company has plunged into administration. The seller of home decor was incorporated in 2019, according to Companies House. Businesses typically enter administration when they are struggling financially, and an insolvency practitioner (administrator) will take control of their affairs, business and property to help turn things around.
According to today’s notice in the London Gazette today, Lanfine Limited entered administration on July 10, 2026. It trades as The Honesty Works and operates in the town of Darvel in Scotland. The business specialises in the design, printing, and stitching of curtains and cushions in its factory in Scotland. It champions its “focus on craftsmanship and attention to detail”, saying its specialist craftspeople “create high-quality, luxury products that bring timeless elegance to your home”.
“By producing in small batches and making-to-order items, we reduce waste and ensure that every piece we make is truly special,” its website reads.
“Our direct-to-consumer approach allows us to deliver exceptional quality at the best possible price, so you can enjoy beautiful, handmade home furnishings without compromise.”
The company has over 50 years of experience in producing “beautiful, high-quality home furnishings”. It was originally established in the 1920s and puts an emphasis on local manufacturing.
Its listing on Companies House confirms that it is in administration, and that Landfine Limited was incorporated in 2019.
The Honesty Works’ social media accounts are still active. Its last post on Facebook was shared in December 2025. Meanwhile, no cushions or curtains are currently listed for sale on the store’s website.
A notice at the top of the website reads: “I write to inform you that Michelle Elliot and Callum Carmichael of FRP Advisory Trading Limited were appointed Joint Administrators of the Company on 10 July 2026.”
It is one of several UK furnishing companies to face financial hardship as of late. In May, a UK independent furniture company collapsed into administration this year after 57 years of business. Barretts of Woodbridge was appointed Lee De’ath and Tom Gardiner of BTG Begbies Traynor LLP as administrators on May 7, 2026.
